I was just wondering ... isn't now every proxy feature in every webserver some kind of mod_lisp?
What are the pros and cons of mod_lisp vs. proxy (+ TBNL stand-alone)?
Forget it. mod_lisp is much, much faster. 3 to 4 times faster in a local test with ApacheBench against Apache 1.3 + mod_lisp + TBNL, lighttpd + mod_proxy + TBNL, and TBNL stand-alone.
Apache 1.3 + mod_lisp + TBNL was always faster.
The mod_lisp request data can be parsed without any regular expressions. Maybe that's enough to cause that difference in speed.
I think I'll try to remove all calls to CL-PPCRE:SPLIT and test it again (later).
